One of my boys’ favorite sections of this park is the little town with working street lights. They love to bring their bikes, scooters, and skateboards and ride on the streets!
4. Downtown Plaza
The Prete Plaza in downtown Round Rock is especially fun on those hot Texas Summer days! Featuring a large splash pad and pavilion rentals, it makes seeing downtown especially cool.

Yet another favorite of my boys is the Shaylah Dame Skate Park on Gattis School Road. While mothers’ nerves may not, aspiring boarders will love this park, with 14,000 square feet of riding space including a huge bowl. As with all parks, remember to keep it safe and wear protective riding gear!
Hope to see you around at one of these top Round Rock Parks!
